Исполнитель: Eddie Higgins QuintetНазвание альбома: A Handful of Stars Год выпуска: 2009 Формат файлов: FLAC Размер архива: 421.4 mb Скачать с: ifolder.ru Arguably the biggest star in the Venus Records roster, pianist Eddie Higgins has released numerous trio recordings from the label. He also has an on-going collaboration with veteran tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, beginning with the 2001 quartet album Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and continuing with My Foolish Heart and My Funny Valentine, all of which, by the way, were designated as Swing Journal Gold Disc. Wonderful clarinetist and tenorist Ken Peplowski joined this union to make it a quintet, on It's Magic, which won the Swing Journal 2007 Best Compilation Award. Now, the golden quintet returns with their latest, A Handful of Stars. The three giants, assisted ably by Jay Leonhart and Joe Ascione, create beautiful and romantic music in a relaxed mood.They are not breaking any new ground here, but their masterful tastes, gentle swing and warm interactions are as lovely and comfortable as a fireplace in the middle of winter. Enthusiastically recommended! Produced By Tetsuo Hara And Todd Barkan. Recorded At The Avatar Studio In New York On April 13 & 14, 2008. Engineered By Katherine Miller. Mixed And Mastered By Venus Hyper Magnum Sound Direct Mix: Shuji Kitamura & Tetsuo Hara. Swing Journal Gold Disc.
